We have only been going here a month or so and wow what a HUGE difference we have seen in our 8 yr old son. He keeps track of the time and day now. He is asking me when he wakes if it is Karate day, telling me what time it is so we aren't late, and telling me he needs to check with Sensei before he does something. He is excited and loves Sensei and more importantly RESPECTS HIM! This is only the beginning and we are unbelievably excited to see what the future holds. Thank you Zanshin Shotokan, Sensei Rocky, Sensei Isabella and the entire Dojo from the bottom of our hearts! ~ The Narvell Family

While we've encountered some good gyms, I can honestly say that Gracie Humaita Valencia blows them all out of the water. Professor Mario has many years of experience working with kids, and it truly shows. He has an incredible ability to make every student feel valued, supported, and encouraged, no matter their skill level. The entire coaching staff is just as exceptional--they share the same professionalism, attention to detail, and high-level technical knowledge. The gym culture is another standout. Effort is consistently recognized and rewarded, and a healthy mindset is taught alongside excellent technique. My kids are challenged by great training partners and genuinely look forward to every class. We are so thankful to have found this gym and highly recommend it to any family looking for a positive, high-quality jiu-jitsu environment for their kids

We decided to enroll our four-year-old son in the program as well, and everything went smoothly during that process. Arrangement was month-to-month, price is fair, and the facility and program came highly recommended from other professionals in the area that I trust deeply. As the weeks have passed bringing my kids to class, I pivoted from LA fitness, and my core focus on adult basketball league and hoopin, and decided to sign up for personal boxing classes. After a couple of classes in, I'm slowly improving at the footwork and pivoting/shifting weight, and I'm feeling more confident.. I run a large and successful organization, which includes a sales team that's highly focused on customer service and execution... And, I've been shown nothing but respect and excellent customer service, when it comes to working with Ekata. I trust my own personal training and health, as well as my kids, in their program. Let's go!!!

They have world class technical experience, but perhaps more importantly, they have a deep understanding of how to relay their experience and passion to their students. My 8-year-old son has been attending Checkmat for about 8 months and he loves it. I noticed his self-confidence grow since he started with Checkmat. He tells me his favorite days are the days he goes to jiu jitsu. He's tried multiple sports and has never shown as much enthusiasm as he has for jiu jitsu and a huge part of that is Checkmat's approach to introducing children to jiu jitsu. This is a super kid friendly place. I have so much confidence in this program that I encouraged my 5-old son to try it. Professor Art and Professor Leka welcomed him to trial experience and he had so much fun he joined and is now a member of the Checkmat family. I highly recommend this program. The children grow in their self-confidence, their self-awareness, inner (and outer) strength, discipline, and most importantly, they have fun!

The kids program is especially impressive -- it teaches so much more than Jiu-Jitsu. Our child has grown in confidence, respect, and focus since starting here. At the same time, the adult classes provide challenging, high-quality training in a welcoming and ego-free atmosphere. The gym itself is always clean, well-maintained, and clearly run with pride and intention. The structure, discipline, and community values they uphold are felt every time we walk in. We're proud to be part of this Jiu-Jitsu family.

He joined last year, and since then he's also started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu--and the growth we've seen in him has been incredible. He's much more confident now than when he first started, and seeing him walk into class proud, motivated, and excited is something I'll never take for granted. Because of how positive and welcoming the environment is, my partner and I decided to join the dojo as well. From day one, we felt supported and encouraged. Master Prager is genuinely kind, patient, and amazing with kids. He leads with care and respect, and it truly shows in the students. The other instructors and coaches are just as amazing--always friendly, helpful, and encouraging us every step of the way. One of the most meaningful parts of our experience has been the sense of community. I've made real friendships with other parents as well as with the people in my adult class. We truly share a love for martial arts and a desire to help each other improve, grow, and succeed. That kind of support and connection is rare and incredibly special. The Edge Martial Arts is more than just a dojo--it's a community that builds confidence, discipline, and genuine relationships. We feel lucky to be part of it and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a positive, uplifting place for themselves or their family. It's a place I truly believe in and want to see continue to grow.
